Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing |
|
|
|
|
An assessment of phonological awareness, phonological memory and rapid naming.
The Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP)helps identify individuals, from pre-school through college, who may benefit from intervention activities to enhance their phonological skills.
CTOPP comprises two versions of the test. The first version is for use with children aged 5-6 and contains seven core subtests and one supplemental test. The second version is for use with individuals aged 7-24 and contains six core subtests and eight supplemental tests. Benefits:
- Identifies individuals who are significantly below their peers in important phonological abilities
- Determines strengths and weaknesses among developed phonological processes
- Helps document an individual's progress in phonological processing as a consequence of special intervention programs

Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency (TOSWRF) |
|
|
|
|
The Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency (TOSWRF) measures students' ability to recognize printed words accurately and efficiently. The TOSWRF may be used by classroom teachers, special education teachers, reading specialists, school psychologists, and other personnel with training in standardized test administration. The student's current reading skill level is measured by counting the number of printed words he/she can identify within three minutes. Students are presented with rows of words, ordered by reading difficulty and are given three minutes to draw a line between the boundaries of as many words as possible (ex. much/three/zoo/apple).
The TOSWRF identifies students struggling with reading and aids in monitoring student progress. It is an efficient and cost-effective screening tool because it can be administered easily and quickly to individual students or in a group.

Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) |
|
|
|
|
The WPPSI-III is used to assess the general thinking and reasoning skills of children aged 2 years to 7 years. This test has three main scores: Verbal score, Performance score, and Full Scale score.
The Verbal score indicates how well one does on tasks that require listening to questions and giving spoken answers to them. These tasks evaluate skills in understanding verbal information, thinking with words, and expressing thoughts as words.
The Performance score indicates how well one did on tasks that required him to examine and think about things such as designs, pictures, and puzzles, and to solve problems without using words. These tasks evaluate skills in solving nonverbal problems, sometimes using eye-hand coordination, and working quickly and efficiently with visual information.
The Full Scale score is derived from the combination of the Verbal and Performance scores. The WPPSI-III Full Scale score is a way to view overall thinking and reasoning skills. Because language difficulties may have interfered with the opportunity to perform well on the Verbal tasks, the Performance score may be a more accurate estimate of thinking abilities.

Childrens Memory Scale (CMS) |
|
|
|
|
The CMS provides a complete picture of memory functioning in children and adolescents aged 5-16 years and links learning and memory directly to IQ. It helps you identify relationships between a child's memory, new learning capacity, and academic achievement, as well as differences between memory and attentional abilities.
The CMS can be used as a screening or diagnostic instrument to evaluate learning and a variety of memory functions including:
- Verbal and visual memory.
- Short-delay and long-delay memory.
- Recall, recognition, and working memory.
- Learning characteristics.
- Attentional functions.
